Pros

There are plenty of benefits that employees actually enjoy. The commuter pass and parking program, weekly catered lunches, fitness reimbursement, and the training and other development opportunities.

Cons

The CEO and his management were so focused on making profits, forgetting about balance, the real vision, and company priorities. The current problems were blatantly ignored while taking advantage of employees, neglecting our well being, losing the work-life balanced we were promised! The outcome was overworked, stressed, and unhappy employees who felt frustrated at work which also affected performance in a terrible way! Instead of actually talking about the decline in performance and resolving the real problem, we were blamed for it and even pressured to perform better! If one would suggest decreasing our load, management would take that against you and accuse you of being incompetent! The CEO being obsessed with getting higher results, will immediately fire anyone who's underperforming and couldn't qualify their insane standards! Fear is the thing that drives people to keep on no matter how exhausting work gets from the continuous increase of workload, no matter how unreasonable it is. No one wants to get fired just like that, without any back up plan. The job is enjoyable, coworkers were great, and students were a joy to teach. It's just the leadership that makes this company terrible!

Pros

I was able to work with some talented people, but they all left because of how horrible of an experience working here is.

Cons

The work environment at Vista Higher Learning is one filled with stress, hostility, and misery. Leadership sets unrealistic goals for us to meet, and refuses to listen to any feedback from employees. They couldn’t care less about our well-being and believe it to be perfectly fine if we’re overworked. If we fail to meet their unreasonable expectations, we’re yelled at for being incompetent. A lot of talented people have ended up leaving the company because they refuse to be exploited and abused.

Pros

Colleagues were smart and motivated.

Cons

Goals were driven by unrealistic numbers without input from the people doing the work. Instead of adapting to real feedback, leadership doubled down on vanity metrics. We spent months on projects that no one asked for, while essential work was ignored. It felt like a performance for investors, not a mission for users.
